Microevolution

There are big changes and little changes in DNA. Mutations are the big changes and small gene cross overs are the little changes. Based on a pedigree we did in biology class, I discovered that some traits change going from one generation to another. In this case, it is not something that has to do with dominant or recessive traits. It involves trait variations such as being able to bare the cold more then your parents. The point is, is that the change in the genes you get from your parents varies but does not vary that much. These changes are small but over time leads to microevolution.

i agree, small changes like being able to bare the cold more than ur parents lead to microevolution

Oh, I get what microevolution is! So, if I find some way to make my index finger bend backwards, is that considered as microevolution?

That's considered as "small gene cross overs" right?
